Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Ca we please put Governor Happy Meal Warrior and Mayor Raggedy in the same prison as cellmates?
I’m pretty sure that a famished JB would eat BJ at some point.
This is so amusing. The other day JBP stood in front of the press insisting that ending birth right citizenship is illegal. Regardless that the statement is true, it is laughable how he wants to uphold THAT law but ignore law breakers that cross the border illegally.
I will be waiting for Pritzker’s response to this, ought to be interesting.
When Uncle Fed stops the allowance money, that might get the virtue signaling leftists’ attention.
Finally. Real world consequences for the virtue signaling Democrats. Some jail time for JB and BJ are in order. In fact I think a bit of jail time might cause JB to miss a meal for the first time in his life. Does he even know what a hunger pang feels like? Oh the agony!!
Go ahead JB and block ICE, because having another governor in jail is nothing new for Illinois.
HA!!! Funniest comment of the day. There is probably a specially furnished “Governors Cell” in the Springfield jail.
I’m still waiting for “ Tales of Blagovich “, an interesting read to be sure. There would be more IL Dems running around with egg on their collective face than bums at a mission breakfast.
